I had to have a preop EGD and chose the Consultants in Gastroenterology group from the list of In Network providers to perform this test. They scheduled me for the test at Centerpoint.
It took over a month to get in, and now I'm finding that they upcharged what should have been an outpatient procedure as an outpatient surgery, and in total have billed my insurance over $11000 (including $9000 to the hospital, $700 for the pathologist, and $700 for the GI doc) and are attempting to squeeze another $400 out of me. This is MORE THAN DOUBLE what Gastrointestinal Associates in Overland Park charges for the EXACT SAME THING, and coworkers with the same insurance have not had to pay them more than $150.
Buyer beware.
